Philosophy SoulSpace – Attachment Styles in Relationships

# Philosophy SoulSpace – Attachment Styles in Relationships

An Afternoon of Reflection, Dialogue & Human Connection
Why do we love the way we do?
Why do some of us cling tightly, while others pull away?
Why do we sometimes fear what we most long for?
Psychology speaks of attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant.

Philosophy asks:
– Are these styles fate, or freedom?
– Can we truly change the patterns of our heart?
– What does it mean to love without fear?

In this SoulSpace gathering, we will enter both the science and the soul of attachment. Through story, silence, and shared dialogue, we’ll explore how our earliest bonds shape the way we give and receive love—and how awareness can open us to deeper, freer relationships.

What the afternoon will include:
- A short introduction to attachment theory—seen through both psychology and philosophy
- With questions everyone will be given space for personal reflection: how do I seek closeness, and how do I create distance?
- Small-group dialogue, where every voice may be heard
- A warm, safe atmosphere—listening is as important as speaking

Who is it for?
For seekers of understanding.
For those curious about the patterns that repeat in their relationships.
For anyone who longs to reflect not only on how we attach, but on the larger question: what does it mean to love, and to be free?
Come with curiosity. And leave with a little bit more insight in your heart.

My belief
My belief is that other people's stories and intimate sharing puts us in a vulnerable place which starts a reflection process inside each one of us.

The Location
The location is a lovely and secluded garden at Montebello, Oslo, Noreveien 18 - if the weather permits, we will sit on blankets, and share warm stories. If the weather gods are not willing, we will go inside into my apartment.

Please take notice! Entrance from the General Kroghs vei.

I hope you will find time, and an open heart to come and reflect with me on this topic.

Warm greetings
Patricia Kraft

About the host
My name is Patricia Kraft, and it truly warms my heart to invite you into this group. I’m a film director and visual storyteller, but most of all, I’m simply a human being who loves deep conversations about what it means to be alive, to care, and to connect. For more than 15 years I’ve also taught Norwegian, guiding people through the language and, just as often, into the questions of our shared humanity.
